DNS

Here is the big and simple Truth you must first understand about internet domain names —

Registries and Registrars don't own names, they just provide services to the actual owners who are the entities that create them, in the priced name system with a suffix for which there are authoritative registries. Once you own a name it can never be taken from you as long as you are routing it. The public system is constructed to prevent that, as a vital principle. Suffixes are no exception, nobody really owns them although one or another registry may be the responsible top level router at a given time. The suffixes were originally considered to be public, i.e. socially owned domains or unowned generic types (.edu, .org, .com, etc.).

I am simply expanding this principle to its limit, creating group centric namespaces and enabling the creation of suffixes also known as Top Level Domains. Generic domain space as implemented by me extends and is based on the priced singly rooted name system and is meant to augment not replace it. Think of the public system as root domain space, the common core of all domain spaces.
